Despite appearing in this tournament for the first time, Abu Salim Tripoli fans will be happy with their progress so far. Their first game ended in a (1-0) slim defeat against Zamalek in Egypt. They managed to concede just a goal because their opponent were wasteful.

Expert Betting Tips

Abu Slim have no experience in this competition, but that never really mattered as they have played with Olympique Beja, Kampala City, and Zamalek. In all these games, they have shown class, and we expect them to put up a good fight here. On the other hand, Sagrada Esperanca will strive to take advantage of the neutral ground here to get a back-to-back win in the group. This is a tough game, but we expect the home side to win either half after their defensive display against Zamalek; bet on home winning either half for 1.75.

We expect both teams to settle for a full-time draw for 1.85.

This game should be able to produce a BTTS for 2.02.

Good luck!
